I'd like to see a Caribbean Coalition step into the mix to restore calm, much more than the US personally.
Haiti has serious issues, but the region as a whole can't really seem to catch a break. I
At a fundamental level, the USA has to control this hemisphere.
At an economic level - all of the islands basically have the same stuff (agriculture, natural resources, and tourism) to sell to the world.
Agriculture is a commodity.
Natural Resources - the extraction gets done, maybe some refinement, but the profits go someplace else.
Tourism - Is good for a town, for a sector of the economy, but not all of it.

Or Somalia..the poster boy for anarchy, chaos, dysfunction, terrorism and failure.

This is all a calculated plan. Destabilize a country and it'll make it easier for countries to extract natural resources.

Haiti’s resources are limited by their unstable government
Dear John: I have many friends in Rockland County who are Haitian. I just found out that Haiti is rich in gold and gas mines. I never knew this. But they don’t export. Why not? God bless you, John.…

Feb 3 (Reuters) - Around seven in 10 people in Haiti back proposed creation of an international force to help the national police fight violence from armed gangs who have expanded their territory since the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise, according to a survey carried out in January.
Some 69% of nearly 1,330 people across Haiti said they supported an "international force" - which has been requested by the Haitian government - according to a survey from local business risk management group Agerca and consulting firm DDG.
Nearly 80%, however, said they believed Haiti's PNH national police needed international support to resolve the problem of armed gangs, most saying it should be deployed immediately.
In October, the United Nations suggested a "rapid action force" be sent to Haiti to combat escalating violence from armed gangs whose turf battles have left hundreds dead and thousands displaced.
But many have expressed skepticism, citing abuses from past missions and questioning a force backing the administration of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, which has been without democratically elected representatives since early January.
Most countries have been wary of sending troops, though nearby Jamaica on Tuesday said it would be willing to participate and El Salvador has offered "technical assistance".
U.N. envoy to Haiti Helen La Lime last week said she had heard caution from the United States and Canada, but "not a definite no."
"Nobody wants to repeat the mistakes of the past," she said, adding the force would work in partnership with the PNH.
More than a third of those surveyed said since 2021 they knew someone in their neighborhood, family, or workplace who had been killed. Over 70% said their movements in the capital had been limited by gang presence and 83% said they lost income.
Some 36% said they or someone they knew had since 2021 been victim of a kidnapping, while 28% said this was the case for physical assault, and 9% for sexual assault. A quarter said they had stopped social activities and a fifth said they had left their homes.

Correct. It's the US and France's fault.
Because they were never going to let the Haitians liberate themselves from slavery *and* be prosperous. So they've prevented them from being just that since the 1800's.
What it would take now is for someone to bring order to the country and simultaneously keep the US and France out so it can develop without outside interference.
Like....China.
Because the African Union and Caribbean nations are too pro-white and weak

Haiti was doomed since its conception.
Two overt white supremacist world powers were never going to allow Haiti to be successful. It pisses me off that France gets to skate for all the evil deeds they committed. Got black people rooting for French World cup team and shyt.
Throw in extremely poor/corrupt leadership from Haiti govt and voila you have the current day failed state known as Haiti.

In a sane world, Caricom and AU would step up. But one can only dream, right?
